ronald reagan had a deep instinct. this is the 26 anniversary of the failure of the challenger and the death of chris mcauliffe and the other astronauts. if you go back and look in our film we have a section of ronald reagan talking to the nation. he does not talk about the fee or failure, he does not talk about turning back. he talks about heroism courage, the spirit of pioneering. the desire to move ahead. he reminds us that it was 390 years earlier on that day that the great english explorer had died at sea. he brought a connection between the age of exploration and the new age of exploration. seven nights ago on the space coast, i outlined a bold and visionary dramatic opportunity for americans. i did it for two very different reasons. one because i will not turn, we will not turn to our grand children and say we were the generation who let the chinese dominate space. we're the generation that accepted the decay of the united states because it was too hard to break out. this is a big country filled with big people.
